I'm putting this in the main forum because, well...a Delorean was in Back to the Future and Back to the Future is still a ride at one Universal theme park...so it fits! It's a stretch...but it fits!

Anyway, part of the agreement for Ryan coming to help babysit KidTums this week is that I would take him to the Delorean shop in Orange County to get a part for his car.

A couple of things to note - since I was a teenager during the whole "Back to the Future" movies and remember the Delorean Motor Company coming and going this was quite interesting for me to see. Interesting just in the fact that DMC is still around in some form or another. And without the movie, I wonder if that would be the case? So to me it was very interesting to see how pop culture has played an important role in a would-be defunct company still operating, even in a small form, 24 years AFTER the first movie came out!

The guys at the shop were very nice and actually seemed very enthusiastic for Ryan restoring his car. It's almost like they were passing the Delorean baton to the next generation. It was kind of cool. You probably have to be a nerdy car enthusiast to really appreciate it all, but then again we're nerdy roller coaster enthusiasts so I kind of "get it"

Anyway, onto the photos....

Here we are at the Delorean shop on Orange County...yes the company still exists today!

A closer look at Mr. Purple just in case you wanted to do this to your car.

And just in case you were wondering, yes, they do still build time machines at the Delorean factory. This one is getting coverted now. (Doc Brown even called and was like "DAMN! DAMN DAMN! WHERE IS THAT CAR?")

We should set the time machine to go back to Jeff Johnson's birthday except we found out that the Delorean actually can't travel back that far!

The Flux Capacitor was invented on November 5, 1955 by Dr. Emmett Brown. It's what makes time travel possible.

Ryan says "Our day at Delorean is now complete. I've got my cable, my stickers, and yes, I'm going to need a new change of panties and a box of tissues, but MAN, that was better than normal sex!"

That's aweome! I didn't realize there was a shop in the OC for Delorean. I thought they only had a parts shop somewhere in Texas. Was the signed time machine there on display or was that someone's actual car that had either some decent cash or a lot of free time?

Why won't they just make them.. lighter? and maybe a better engine, then it would've been a decent car. Not surprised that that place exists, just kind of disappointed on how others are modding their DeLorean , no need pretty looking parts. Would've liked to see some weight reduction going on. But yay, glad to see pictures of what is at least a cool looking car, but that's about all it is.
